ABOUT

KASHKA IS THE EVER-EVOLVING FOLKPOPTRONICA PROJECT OF KAT BURNS

The new album from KASHKA is called "Relax," but that's not exactly what Kat Burns has been doing lately. Since creating the moniker (after retiring Forest City Lovers) she's released three albums, multiple singles, an acoustic EP, an instrumental piano album, written countless songs (including for other artists), gotten a dog, toured living rooms and backyards, had her songs appear on tv, and help open up a craft brewery in Toronto.

Recorded mostly at Wildlife Sanctuary Sound, a converted yoga studio in rural Ontario owned by Lisa Conway and Andrew Collins, the album includes stellar collaborations with Valerie Broussard, James Bunton, and LCON.

In her "down-time" Kat illustrates for local publications, maintains a voice-over career, and publishes weekly videos on her YouTube channel. Not one to sit still, indeed.

A selection of recent 'Relax' reviews

Grayowl Point -CAN- "RELAX is perhaps the strongest of her three albums so far—the songs never go too long and there’s no sense of musical excess" [Album Review]Ride The Tempo -CAN- "If you’re feeling tense, a dose of KASHKA’s self-described “folkpoptronica” sound might be just what you need." [Album Review]Various Small Flames -UK- "RELAX is an experimental record that marries orchestral folk with electro-pop to form something that has a foot in both urban life and the wide wilderness." [Album Review]Canadian Beats -CAN- "It’s easy to see why so many of her compositions have made their way onto soundtracks for the big and small screens" [Album Review]Exclaim -CAN- [Video Premiere]Keys and Chords -NE- "Melancholisch en nooit melig." [Album Review]Musik an Sich -DE- "weil jeder Song anders arrangiert wurde und entsprechend ausstrahlt, aber eigentlich meist schön und ein wenig geheimnisvoll." [Album Review]Dominionated -CAN- "A raw and vulnerable humanity makes Relax a compelling and engaging musical statement from KASHKA."[Album Review]
